The fighter jets captured him after he started running? wow
Bush’s fault.
Well, that’ stupid. Why would you leave the key in the ignition? Isn’t that some kind of an airport security violation?
What I would like to know is why this cessna was not shot down once it entered our airspace and the pilot refused to answer hails?
He should have been shot down ...full stop, no questions.
ABC made a big deal about the cost to fly the F-16s ...ZERO has spent orders of magnitude more galavanting across Europe dissing the US to people who would be goose stepping witout our guys giving their lives for them. You can live in the past only so long but we have done nothing bad to Europe but allow them to hurt their fists beating on US.
ABC ...Almost a Broadcasting Company
Maybe more money should have been spent providing him with midnight basketball games...
We so friggin PC now that we’re afraid of the criticism that would entail if we had (rightly) shot down this bozo after he refused to take it down.
You know damn well the Ruskies or the Chi-coms would not have had any such hesitation, had this happened in their airspace.
Once again, we show the world and terrorists in particular that we are weak.
Yavuz...according to a source I just read means “stern, grim” in Turkish.
What? no headline like....Obama scrambles interceptors through NORAD for possible terror strike.....
Can a sidewinder lock onto the heat signature of a Cessna? I think we should have found out.
He became a Canadian citizen in 2008, an changed his name from he original Turkish.
And now a Turkish national, wearing press credentials from Al-Jezirah (sp) (who denies he was a member of Al-J), is arrested after threatening to kill Obama with a knife.
Any dots to connect? And why would a Turkish national want to attempt assassination?
It takes a lot of optimism to try to outrun an F-16.
As Jim Noble noted here-

“The enemy learned something important tonight.
We won’t shoot first.”
A-yup! Nailed it.
I'll bet not!
Was there anything in the news about Glorious Leader taking a call on his red bag phone during this chase. Wouldn’t that be something... Dear Leader gives the go ahead to shoot down a Turkish nutcase over the US while meeting with officials in Turkey...
Third paragraph reveals his name, which used to be Adam and now is a Muslim name. Born in Turkey. Finally, the details that make this make sense.
Plus, he did NOT contact the F-16s when they came after him.
I’d say this is mighty suspicious.
